Padre Island Brewery & Restaurant - So Padre Island, TX

Monday, February 2, 2009

On the way to the South Padre Island Kite Fest we passed a brewery that cried out to us to visit later...South Padre Island Brewery & Restaurant. The copper brew tanks in the front window did us in....LOL! So after the event and checking out the island a bit we popped in and boy, we were glad we did.



Once again we tried the sampler....five 4oz glasses of beer for $3.75. In the photo below they are from right to left (numbers 1 to 5): Boca Chica Bock, Padre Island Pale Ale, So Padre Island Blonde Ale, Tidal Wave Wheat, Speckled Trout Stout.



Once again our tastes ran pretty much the same...we both liked the Boca Chica Bock and the Tidal Wave Wheat. Stu liked the Specked Trout Stout but it was a bit too dark/stout for me. I still wasn't a fan of the light ales.....BUT, I mixed half the Boca Chica Bock with half of the Padre Island Pale Ale and wow....loved it! I would never have done something like that before visiting the Abita Springs Brewery...



Next came the food......yum! Great prices and super service....loved our waiter. Stu got a pizza - shrimp & cheese and I got a Pesto Chicken Salad on flat bread. My french fries were nothing to write home about but I was stuffed and didn't need them anyway. LOL!



So, if you're ever on South Padre Island hope you'll give them a try...

Till next time - keep on rollin',
Donna & Stu
